Seeing that the people from the Tang Dynasty were so arrogant, the children of the Cui family of Goguryeo were furious. After all, we are also one of the best nobles in Goguryeo. Even if you surrender, there is no reason to be superior to others.

Holding down the anger of the younger generations behind him, Brother Cui was obviously more aware of the times and better understood the way of survival of the nobles.

After pondering for a while, Brother Cui said, "My ancestor of Cui family also held the royal power of Goguryeo. Now I am ranked as Brother Tai, who is better than you, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

But we have nothing to say about success, king and defeat. Our Cui family does not seek high-ranking officials and generous salaries in the Tang Dynasty, nor does it require dukes and marquis. As long as we get the position of a count and do not be despised by others, it would be fine."

This is very pertinent. The prime minister of a country surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Logically speaking, such a talented person is a talented person. If His Majesty of the Tang Dynasty cherishes his talents, he will use talents. However, the Tang Dynasty and even the Central Plains dynasties in the past are the same. It is difficult to be granted a marquis and a duke even more difficult to be granted a king. It is necessary for the royal family to be granted a title.

This is a rule passed down since the Han Dynasty. I remember that during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the flying general Li Guang was not allowed to be a marquis for his entire life, and he was given a marquis only after his death.

For example, Yu Shinan, an old minister of the Tang Dynasty, was one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace and one of the twenty-four people in the future Lingyan Pavilion. His current title is just a viscount from Yongxing County.

In the early Tang Dynasty, a bunch of dukes and marquises were granted, and a large number of them were wanted by Li Yuan to win over the court officials. After all, the country has not been completely unified.

Therefore, Brother Cui’s request is not at all excessive.

However, after hearing this, the people from the Tang Dynasty laughed again, and even had obvious contempt in their eyes.

"According to the established plan of the Tang Dynasty, as a nobleman of a defeated country, you are equivalent to a prisoner. Even if the Tang Dynasty has the policy of gathering the people, you are just a wealthy family who are slightly stronger than the people. If you want to be a nobleman, hehe, it is basically impossible."

"If you do that, why do you come and humiliate us?" a young man said dissatisfied.

The man continued, "What I said is the result of your surrender to the Tang army yourself.

But now that I'm here, that's different."

"Can you still control the military headquarters of the Tang Dynasty?"

"No, the title of the title is not under the jurisdiction of the Tang Military Department. Let me introduce myself. Cui Dunyi, the Cui family of the Boling family, and his brother Cui Dunli, was appointed as the Minister of the Tang Military Department.

My leader of the Boling Cui clan sent me here because I was the Cui clan of Goguryeo, and it was a branch of my Boling Cui clan who passed down from the peninsula.

I think that we are of the same sect and cannot bear to have you suffered from the disaster of war, so I convince you to follow me to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.”

It turns out that this person is from the Boling Cui clan, and the Boling Cui clan and the Goguryeo Cui clan have such a relationship.

"I, Goguryeo Cui, passed down from the Goguryeo Cui family back then, and it has nothing to do with you." One person retorted.

"Haha, where did the Goguryeo royal family come from? I believe that everyone present would not forget their ancestors." Cui Dunyi sneered.

Brother Cui waved his hand and said, "According to the genealogy, our ancestors did migrate from the Central Plains during the chaotic period of the late Eastern Han Dynasty."

"So what? Don't you still want to surrender us? Even if you are from the Cui family of Boling, I heard that in the Tang Dynasty, your so-called five surnames and seven families are not so good at speaking. Can you still twist the Tang army?" said an old man. Obviously, this man is a well-informed person.

"Hmph, I, the Cui family of Boling, is now countless officials in the court, so what about the Tang army?

If you join the Tang army, you will be a commoner. Do you think they will let you Goguryeo leaders stand in front of others and still take power? Will you continue to enjoy wealth? It is absolutely impossible.

However, if our Boling Cui clan comes forward, you will be a branch of my Boling Cui clan. The patriarch said that he would go to the court to personally talk about the situation. As long as you recognize your ancestors and enjoy the treatment and titles, you will naturally rise with our Cui clan.

Looking at the entire Goguryeo, the only one who can treat the Tang Dynasty differently is probably the Gao family of the Goguryeo royal family.

If you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, it is not impossible to even get a marquis.”

Cui Dunyi's words directly made many young people's hearts thump. Goguryeo is indeed broken now, and many families are considering retreat. Obviously, taking advantage of the value of now, surrendering to the Tang Dynasty is the way out. But what everyone is most worried about is that they surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and since then they are no different from the people, so they are still hesitating.

Now, with a good way to maintain the status of a noble, why not?

Looking back at the children who were about to move behind him, Brother Cui said, "The Cui family in Boling is a great cause. I think there is no lack of branches of our branches in the land of barbarians. I wonder what your purpose is to do this?"

Cui Dunyi looked at the head of the Goguryeo Choi clan and asked, "What do you think?"

"Is it our money?"

All Brother Cui Tai could think of at this time was that there might be only money. After all, his family was a royal family of the Cui family regime before Goguryeo. It has accumulated a lot over the past few hundred years. What can be coveted by the prominent families in the Central Plains, and it may be that only wealth is left.

“Hahaha, refreshing!

You are right, if you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, you will be subject to your own family.

Our condition is 70% of your family's wealth. In addition, if the Goguryeo Cui family can inherit and prosper, there must be many outstanding children. After the Tang Dynasty, they will be trained together with our Boling Cui family's children, and in the future, they will be consistent with the foreign countries. After all, the enemies of our aristocratic families are very strong, and we need talents to compete with them."

"You mean, Bai Fan, the Marquis of Lantian, Datang?"

"good."

"No, absolutely not. How can our ancestors give up their foundation? They will leave 70% at once. How can our children live?" Many people were talking.

Cui Dunyi said disdainfully: "Do you have a lot of 70% of your foundation? Do you think you are interested in your little money?

If it doesn't work, you can go and vote for Li Jing, and see if you will be demoted to common people by all your family wealth?"

A word made everyone silent. The Tang army would be kind to the people, but not necessarily to the Goguryeo officials.

Brother Cui said, "Okay, since there is no objection, then let's make it like this. Money is just something outside of your body. You can save your life through this calamity and go to Datang Duoduo to study, and then earn a family business in the future."

This made Cui Dunyi look up to him. It seemed that this person could become the prime minister of Goguryeo, and was not a simple person.

With the documentary of the Goguryeo Choi clan's recognition of his ancestors and returning to the Tang Dynasty, Cui Dunyi sneaked out of Pyongyang City and headed straight for Li Jing's camp in Liaodong. Because it would take a great contribution to the Goguryeo Choi clan's position. Obviously, now that the city of Yeon Gaisu Wengu is defending the city of Wan, the Tang Dynasty will be a great contribution to the initiative of being an insider when the Tang army attacks Pyongyang.
